Mrs. J. Il. Stahl, OF Walla Walla, Wash

Mrs. Stahl's letter Of complaint wss
queerly worded, rather plain document,
in which she described in Germau-English
phraseology her business troubles, men
tioning the fact thRt she is widow. Cap
tain Bragg, on behalf OF the Commission
forwarded the complaint to the railroad
people, requesting an investigation, and il
1t Was found that an overcharge had
been made, that the money be
refunded. The company's attorneys have
fled their reply to the effect that the beer
kegs over which the complaint arose were
shipped from Milwaukee,; that the rates
we're fixed by a company over which re-
Bpondent has no control, and that the said
rates were not unreasonable or unjust.
Notwithstanding this, however, the re-
spondsnt says 1t has fully satisfied com.
plainant in respect to all matters connected
with said shipment Of beer kegs. Mrs.
